Yanna:

Mr. Kim and Mr. Jaewo left the room, still talking about something. That means, the only person left inside this room with me is Hoseok. Can you suggest some tips on how to disappear on the spot?

I saw Hoseok walking towards me. The heck. I quickly tried to act normal. I pretended to fix my things and my laptop. He better be out of this room soon. I feel like I can die out of suffocation right here, right at this moment. I tried all my best to avoid him. He might notice it.

"Excuse me Miss?"I looked up to him. He immediately engulfed me in a hug. "Omg! I was right! I wasn't just imagining. You weren't definitely just my imagination! It's you. You're definitely Yanna!",he said still hugging me. "Of course it's me. Why would you doubt if it's me or not?"
"I just missed you so much. I never knew you're working for this company."
"Okay, you're over reacting Mr.Jung. We just saw each other last Sunday", I said rolling my eyes internally.
"Yes but still."

"Well, I should get going now sir. I still have many things to do",I said gathering and arranging my things.
"Yes, but have you eaten your lunch yet?"
"No", I bluntly responded.
"Then come eat with me."
"It's late, I don't think I have much time for that."
I took a glance at my wristwatch. It's 12:30. Then I pointed at the wall clock on the wall. "See sir? It's 12:30. Lunch break is almost over. I will just get something to eat later."
"You shouldn't let yourself starve. Come I'll let Mr. Kim know you're having lunch."
"But-", he cut me off. "No buts Yanna, your health is more important.
"Fine. Stay here. I'll go tell him."

I exited the room and sighed heavily. I'm trying to avoid him. He might open up about that message. It will surely be awkward. Or am I the only one thinking differently about that? That message probably meant nothing for him. But, I don't know. It's my first time receiving a text from someone like that.

I knocked on Mr. Kim's door three times. He gestured me to come in. Luckily, Mr. Jaewo is not with him anymore. "What is it Miss Yanna?"
"I just wanted to ask for your permission to have my lunch sir. But, the lunch break is almost over and I wasn't able to bring my lunch. The food place is still far from here."
"Oh is that so? It's okay Miss. You can come back here later at 2pm. Besides, the meeting ended kinda late so it's okay" he replied smiling.
"Thank you so much Mr. Kim", I said bowing. "You're welcome Miss Yanna. You can have your lunch now. Eat well."

I left his office and went back to the conference room. I took a peek first before stepping inside. Hoseok is still inside. He's totally waiting for me. Does he not have work to do? His dad already left. Why is he still here?

I stepped inside. Hoseok smiled at me."How was it? What did he say?"
"He allowed me to have my lunch. He said I can go back here later at 2pm."
"That's great. Let's get going then?"
I just nodded. We exited the building. My workmates are not here yet. They are probably still having their lunch outside.

"Sir, you don't have to do this", I said as we walk to the parking lot. "Well, I want to. Would you please stop calling me sir? I'm your friend. I'm Hoseok."
"Oh, sorry Hobi. Yes, you're my friend but, you're our business partner. You're technically my boss now."
"Yes, you're right. You can call me sir when we are working or in front of the other employees but, whenever it's just the two of us, call me Hobi."
"Oh okay then Hobi."

He opened the car door for me. I sat on the shotgun seat. He sat on the driver's seat. "Where are we going to eat Hobi?", I asked glancing at him. "Just relax, you'll see."
